So, has anyone checked it out yet?

I created this framework to make social applications on the web, but
it turned out to be just the sort of framework a programmer would make
if they kept abstracting things into more and more organized chunks.

Why PAL is nice, in a nutshell:
1) more powerful than codeigniter, much faster than symfony
2) everything is dynamic, including routing rules and other
configuration
3) actions are just php files, just like php scripts
4) Lots of convenience: you don't have to explicitly keep passing
variables to components and views, they are passed automatically by
the flow. There's also the option of extracting all configuration
parameters into your views to write really simple stuff like <?=
$pal_web_url ?at any point.
5) There's a fully featured DB layer with ORM. Like Pal, it's really
simple and powerful to use, and has features no other db layer/orm
has.

So check it out. I'm looking for people to understand the framework
and join the project, and contribute to it. Or just use it :-)
